Tonya, first of all, I surmise that you are not traveling two hours to get to the vets and ignoring the excellent vet down the street from the house. I think you have mentioned that there are not that many good vets in your immediate area and also one that can treat bunnies.

What immediately comes to my mind is my own experience of taking one look at Rascal's ear and knowing that if I didn't get it treated immediately, he would be in really bigger trouble.

When I took him into the Vet - he almost exploded with "Oh, this is going to require surgery."

After all was said and done and Rascal came home with tubes in his ears to drain the abscess the vet apologized to me. Why?
He was already under the gun with many cases and I only added one more. He apologized and said that he was short-handed and became overloaded himself with so many emergencies.

The Vet is human - and there may have been all kinds of scenarios going on - his wife was yelling he was always late - it was his kid's birthday - on and on - not to mention that at the end of a day he is probably really tired.

For right now, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Absolutely you should not have been treated this way and it is upsetting. But if there are no other vets nearby that can treat Piper - you may have to carefully think this through.

The most important thing is to get Piper healed - but of course, you already know that.

It won't hurt to ask around to everyone about vets......you are already driving so far - there must be others.

It sounds like the girl in the office doesn't know what she is doing and the communication is awful.

He did apologize to you and that has to be considered.

Please keep us posted and tell us how Piper is doing.

Hugs to you.......XXOO
